Psychologists analyze causes of school attacks and child anxiety

Experts are analyzing the rising frequency of school attacks and child psychological well-being. Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Eyüp Sabri Ercan notes that biological factors, lack of parental attention, and social environments play critical roles. He highlights that a lack of trust in the justice system and economic inequality can drive children toward gangs or organized groups.

Psychologist İrem Bulut Ataş emphasizes the risks associated with parental neglect due to busy work schedules and the uncontrolled use of digital devices. She suggests that a lack of deep communication regarding a child's social life and digital activities can leave them feeling excluded or undervalued.

Addressing broader child development, experts warn that certain well-intentioned parental responses can inadvertently increase anxiety. Dismissive phrases or mirroring fear can prevent children from learning how to manage their emotions effectively.
